Drew Gooden explains why he\u2019s \u201cdisappointed\u201d in Juice WRLD lawsuit Popular YouTuber, critic, and musician Drew Gooden is none too pleased with band Yellowcard\u2019s lawsuit against the recently deceased rapper Juice WRLD, in spite of his passing. American rock band Yellowcard has decided to proceed with a lawsuit against Juice WRLD, who passed away on December 8, 2019 of a sudden seizure at just 21 years old. Yellowcard had originally filed a lawsuit against the rapper due to a similarity between their 2006 composition \u201cHolly Wood Died\u201d and Juice WRLD\u2019s 2018 song, \u201cLucid Dreams,\u201d claiming that the more recent track is \u201cnot only substantially similar to [Holly Wood Died], but in some places virtually identical.\u201d While Juice WRLD later passed away, the band decided to go through with their suit, despite feeling reportedly \u201ctorn\u201d about the controversial decision. YouTuber Drew Gooden, a longtime fan of Yellowcard, actively decried their continued lawsuit in a video uploaded on January 2, titled, \u201cI\u2019m Disappointed,\u201d arguing that he couldn\u2019t find any blatant similarities between the two songs. \u201cTheir original music, their first two albums especially, I listened to all the time,\u201d Gooden said of Yellowcard. \u201cI know these songs very well. They\u2019re deeply ingrained into my brain. And when I heard \u2018Lucid Dreams,\u2019 I didn\u2019t hear the song they\u2019re suing him for allegedly \u2018ripping off.\u2019\u201d The YouTuber went on to argue that there \u201cdoesn\u2019t seem to be any loss involved\u201d on Yellowcard\u2019s part, and that ultimately, musicians are largely inspired by other artists \u2013 and even claimed that Yellowcard\u2019s lawsuit was born out of desperation for money and relevancy. \u201c\u2026they\u2019re so desperate for money that they\u2019re willing to alter their legacy forever to make villains out of themselves, just for a small payday,\u201d he continued. \u201c\u2026I saw \u2018#f**kYellowcard\u2019 all over Twitter for a few days, and it\u2019s totally worth it to them, because they\u2019re that desperate for money.\u201d After kicking out their drummer in 2013 and signing to a record label famous for \u201cKidz Bop,\u201d Gooden feels that the now-defunct band saw an opportunity for quick cash and took it \u2014 and while this motivation hasn\u2019t been confirmed, its safe to say that Yellowcard\u2019s lawsuit is earning them backlash across Juice WRLD\u2019s fanbase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
